Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

A terrifying Dao principle, capable of ending all things and burying everything, permeated the air, threatening to bury Tan Lin along with this entire star field.

Tan Lin's face was as still as an ancient well, and he simultaneously activated the third of the Nine Secrets.

He activated the "All" secret, the "Fight" secret, and the "Former" secret all at once.

In an instant, his combat power increased exponentially, and the Battle Saint Technique evolved into countless offensive and defensive arts, with the Pre-Word Secret predicting all deadly intents.

He transformed into a streak of crimson-gold lightning and charged into that land of death.

boom!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A fierce battle erupted in the land of death.

Tan Lin's fists, palms, fingers, and legs were all killing weapons, seemingly more terrifying than any ultimate weapon, smashing the corpses of gods and demons and tearing apart the laws of annihilation.

He was like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep, invincible.

Even though attacks occasionally landed on him, leaving deep wounds or even piercing his body,

However, as the indestructible golden body activated, crimson blood energy surged, and the wounds healed instantly, as if he had never been injured.

The more the Demon Mist Supreme fought, the more terrified and desperate he became.

Even if one transcends oneself, one is still completely suppressed in a head-on battle!

The opponent's combat awareness, offensive techniques, and recovery ability are all abnormal!

He doesn't seem like a cultivator who has only been practicing for less than a thousand years at all...

"If this continues, I'm going to die..."

The Demon Mist Supreme felt a desire to retreat and fought his way back, attempting to escape the battlefield.

"Want to go?"

Tan Lin's eyes were cold, and he understood her intentions.

He used the secret technique of "行字" (Xing Zi) to move with extreme speed, like a persistent affliction, tightly binding the Demon Mist Supreme and giving him no chance to escape.

Throughout this time, he maintained the [Barrier of All Causes], even though the fireflies consumed a great deal of energy.

However, it still forcibly distorted the trajectory of certain fluctuations in this area, making it difficult for the Demon Mist Supreme's cries for help and battle fluctuations to be fully transmitted, and they could only be confined to a certain range.

"..."

The Demonic Mist Supreme went berserk, burning its essence and blood. The gray mist transformed into ferocious chains of divine order, piercing through the void and coiling around Tan Lin, attempting to temporarily imprison him.

Tan Lin neither dodged nor evaded; his crimson-gold blood energy erupted suddenly, like raging flames burning the sky, shattering the entangling chains of divine order.

He took a step forward, closing in on the Demon Mist Supreme, his right hand forming a fist with five fingers, and his left hand forming a sword shape, both striking out simultaneously.

Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!

Five-Finger Fist, Heart Sword!

The fist imprint and sword energy merged into one, transforming into a destructive torrent interwoven with invincible will and supreme killing intent, which slammed fiercely into the Demon Mist Supreme's crossed arms as he parried.

Click!

There was a heartbreaking sound of bone cracking.

The Demon Mist Supreme's arms snapped off, his royal blood spraying out, and he was blasted into the core of a massive, long-dead star like a meteorite.

Boom!!!

The star exploded, turning into cosmic dust.

The Demon Mist Supreme, covered in blood, struggled to emerge from the ruins, his aura greatly weakened, and fear finally appeared in his eyes.

however,

Just as Tan Lin was preparing to finish off and refine it completely in one fell swoop,

boom!!!

A massive, unimaginably thick bolt of black lightning tore through the outer void, which was blurred by the [Barrier of All Causes], and struck Tan Lin's head with perfect precision!

The power of this tribulation lightning far surpasses that of ordinary tribulations aimed at breaking through to the Emperor's Realm.

It was filled with rage and punitive intent, as if the heavenly tribulation itself was "enraged" because it was blinded by its incarnation and locked onto the wrong target!

"puff……"

Caught off guard, Tan Lin staggered as he was struck by this enhanced heavenly tribulation, and his indestructible blood aura dimmed.

His shoulder was a bloody mess, but the undying true intent flowed through it, and the wound was slowly healing, though at a noticeably slower pace than before.

More importantly, the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation disrupted his maintenance of the [Barrier of All Causes] and the [Reverse Perspective of All Causes], causing a momentary loosening of the seal on the Demon Mist Supreme!

"A heavenly tribulation? Haha! Heaven is on my side!"

The Demon Mist Supreme was first stunned, then overjoyed.

He keenly sensed that the invisible, eerie power that suppressed him and isolated his aura had weakened under the interference of the heavenly tribulation!

At this moment, without any hesitation, he frantically fled backward while gathering his last strength, amplifying his voice with the laws of the Imperial Way, attempting to break through the remaining blockade:

"Longevity! Stone Emperor! Fellow Daoists, come quickly! This fiend is none other than the Suiren Emperor..."

But his words failed to get through completely.

Although the [Barrier of All Causes] has loosened, it still exists, distorting and isolating most sounds and divine thought fluctuations.

However, the last three words, due to the Demon Mist Supreme's desperate roar as he burned his life essence, coupled with the interference of the Heavenly Tribulation on the barrier, faintly emitted a slight fluctuation.

at the same time,

Tan Lin withstood a heavenly tribulation, his eyes growing even colder.

He didn't give the Demon Mist Supreme a chance to speak again, and bravely pursued him despite the tribulation lightning that was about to strike again.

"you wanna die!"

The fist imprints were as large as mountains, and the sword energy was as vast as the sea, once again engulfing the Demon Mist Supreme.

In another corner of the universe, the six supreme beings are tearing through the void, rushing toward the coordinates where the Fallen Immortal Supreme and Li Qingjue are fighting.

Suddenly, the figures of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, the Stone Emperor, and other supreme beings froze slightly.

How sharp their divine senses were!

Almost simultaneously, they caught the faint, extremely weak, and severely distorted echo that came from the distant wilderness.

"Sui...Ren...Huang?"

Shi Huang frowned, a look of surprise flashing in his scarlet eyes.

"What is the demonic mist shouting? The Emperor Suiren?"

The supreme primordial yellow energy of the ancient primordial mine surged.

"What happened? Did Tan Lin use some forbidden technique or artifact related to the Suiren Emperor?"

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity's eyes flickered, equally filled with surprise and uncertainty.

wow...

The speed of the Supreme Beings' crossing paused slightly, as if they hesitated between continuing to the place where the Fallen Immortal Supreme Being and the Devouring Heaven Woman fought and between the two coordinates on the other side.

They exchanged a glance, their reactions differing.

How could the Emperor Suiren possibly reappear?

But the Demon Mist Supreme wouldn't roar those three words for no reason when facing a life-or-death situation.

"The Emperor's Banner in the hand of that immortal golden body does seem to be quite strange..."

The Supreme Being's voice was hoarse.

"Perhaps the banner containing the true form contains some kind of contingency plan from the Suiren Emperor?"

This speculation reassured the several supreme beings somewhat.

Rather than believing the astonishing and almost mind-blowing possibility that Tan Lin was actually the Suiren Emperor, they preferred to believe that the Suiren Emperor's backup plan had been activated.

After all, it's not impossible for imperial figures, with their extraordinary abilities, to leave some hidden features in the artifacts they create.

Although this is actually quite incredible,

Logically speaking, that person sacrificed everything in the past to gain a brief return before disappearing completely. Even if there were any backup plans, it would be at most possible for them to slowly fade away over two or three hundred years, and ultimately it would be impossible for them to leave anything behind.

"Hesitation is a grave mistake. Quickly go and join the Fallen Immortal to capture that chaotic girl!"

Then everything will be clear!

Suppressing the unease in his heart, Shi Huang said coldly.

No matter what strange things Tan Lin might do, it's always right to eliminate the threat that we can "control" most first.

Because of the unpredictable nature of that person's escape technique, they couldn't figure out a way to break it in a short time. It wasn't something they could control just because they wanted to.

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

Suppressing their initial surprise, the six terrifying auras increased in speed, tearing through the universe and erecting majestic starry rainbow bridges, their target pointing directly at Li Qingjue's location.

at the same time,

In the battlefield between Li Qingjue and the Fallen Immortal Supreme,

boom!!

Another fierce battle ensued. Li Qingjue's black dress was stained with blood, her aura fluctuated, and several more cracks appeared on the Zhuxian Sword.

Although she was stunningly beautiful, she was still severely injured and had only stepped into the realm of the Emperor. Her Chaotic Body was not yet perfected. Facing the Fallen Immortal Supreme who had reached the pinnacle of sublimation, she was at a disadvantage as her injuries worsened and she remained in a stalemate.

At this point, she could only barely manage to stay afloat thanks to the special properties of her Chaotic Body, but new injuries kept piling up on her body.

Fortunately, the opponent's condition cannot be maintained indefinitely. If we can just hold on for a little while, the opponent will surely die.

The Fallen Immortal Supreme was perfectly aware of this.

The eerie light of the Divine Demon Lamp above his head cast a dim, yellowish glow that seemed to erode everything around him. He sneered:

"Little girl, you've got a good plan, but unfortunately, it's all just a desperate act of resistance."

If it were just me alone this time, that would be one thing, but once 'they' arrive in a few breaths, you'll be nothing more than a fish on a chopping board, completely at our mercy.

"It would be better to surrender obediently; perhaps then you'll suffer less!"

tick...

Hearing this, Li Qingjue remained silent. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her delicate, jade-like fingers, her eyes lonely and cold as ancient ice.

The sword energy in his hand grew increasingly fierce, as if carrying a tragic sense of mutual destruction.

Indeed, as the other party said, she could feel that the aura of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and others was rapidly approaching, and she didn't have much time left.

But besides continuing to fight and waiting for a change of events, does she have any other choice?

hum...

Meanwhile, Tan Lin, multitasking, also witnessed this scene through the [Reverse All Causes Vision].

Within the [Barrier of All Causes], having endured several tribulations, his physical condition had declined somewhat, but his aura had also completely entered a different kind of enlightenment. At the peak of his indestructible golden body, he took a deep breath...

He then silently increased the consumption of fireflies, pushing the divine power of the Soul Orb to its limit, and reinforcing the isolation and concealment of the divine power by the [Barrier of All Causes] and the [Reverse Vision of All Causes].

Just now, he was so close to truly exposing his identity as the "reincarnation" of the Suiren Emperor.

Fortunately, the oversight wasn't too serious; otherwise, the current situation would likely be much more difficult.

At that point, it will be a truly insurmountable deadlock...

Swish!

In a flash, Tan Lin's indestructible blood surged within him, the charred marks and tribulation scars on his body faded, and his deep gaze locked onto the violently aura-ridden Demon Mist Supreme opposite him.

The situation was perilous, and he was multitasking the entire time, not only closely monitoring the Six Paths Supreme Aura rapidly approaching Li Qingjue's location in the distance,
